Our Patients are the Voting Public.
We are respected experts in our communities.

Advocacy includes education and respectful discussion and discourse.

Advocacy is Using your Voice!

Surgeons engage with patients at the most impactful times in their lives: when there is high risk, high uncertainty, fear, and anxiety. They offer reassurance, compassion, hope, and solutions.

The impact of this care is far-reaching. But it is up to You to use your experience and Your Voice to care for patients beyond the bedside!

This is How you can Use Your Voice!

Surgeon influence matters in health policy advocacy.

"But HOW do you do it?"
"What are the steps?"
"I don't have time."

The meetings that you don't make will be filled by other, and competing, interests.
Your care of patients extends beyond the clinic, hospital, and operating room.

So, HOW are you going to use Your Voice???

We hear a lot about loss of autonomy...but what are you doing about it?

Taking care of patients extends beyond the clinic, hospital, and operating room.

It goes beyond teaching our residents and students, our nurses, techs, and assistants.

It goes beyond developing curriculums and courses.
Beyond national conferences and beyond our academic journals.

Advocacy is the extension of teaching our patients not only about the best medical care available for their condition, but how they can access it, how the system works, and what to expect.

Advocacy IS Teaching:
Hospital Administration
Business owners
Insurance companies
AND Most Importantly
– YOUR ELECTED OFFICIALS

- Sharing the challenges with delivery of care.
- Sharing the frustrations of systems not working.
- Using your voice to inform and teach.

Finding a problem in your community and sharing information – Teaching - to generate an informed response.

Extend Your voice to Teach and Educate, something you do every day...to Inform - that is Advocacy, and you are already doing it!

Now is the Time to Extend that Voice.
To Extend Your Influence.

Physician Autonomy - has it been lost; where did it come from?

Autonomy is not a relic—it is the heartbeat of ethical medicine.
Autonomy today is about who controls the mission of medicine itself.

The survival of meaningful autonomy depends on physicians reclaiming our voice.
